Pre-meetings on September 14

The information on this page is updated continuously.

 

Early Career Physiologists pre-meeting

Chair: Kattri-Liis Eskla, University of Tartu, Estonia

9:00-9:45 David Eisner, University of Manchester, UK - "Data Reproducibility"
9:55-10:45 Mathis Korseberg Stokke, University of Oslo, Norway  - "Bridging between basic and clinical research to improve translatability"

Chair: Joakim Armstrong Bastrup, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

11:00-12:45
Panel discussion with Krista Rantanen (The Baker Company, US and The Francis Crick Institute, UK), Mathis Korseberg Stokke (University of Oslo, Norway), William E. Louch  (University of Oslo, Norway), and Nina Ullrich (Heidelberg University, Germany). 

Panel discussion includes 4 speakers, plus a chair. The speakers would have 10 min each to tell their career story, followed by the panel discussion. The keywords here would be how to start your lab; how to negotiate to get what you need; translating your research to the clinic, moving abroad to start your lab; differences between working in academia and industry.

Cardiac Muscle

Cardiac sodium homeostasis

Chair: Professor Andrew Trafford, University of Manchester, UK

13:15-15:00 session
1. Davor Pavlovic, University of Birmingham, UK 
2. Kirstine Calloe, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 
3. Carol Ann Remme, Amsterdam UMC, Netherlands
Show-and-tell, ECR-s on the podium*
15:00-15:30 Coffee break

*Show-and-tell: This event is dedicated to ECR-s who can make a short presentation ~3-5 minutes to find potential collaborators or get some feedback on specific questions. This will hopefully start discussions during the following coffee break after the session. Thus, ECR-s can make new valuable connections among other researchers.

EC coupling

Chair: Professor William Louch, University of Oslo, Norway

15:30-17:15 session

1. Mathis Stokke, University of Oslo, Norway 
2. Nina Ullrich, Heidelberg University, Germany 
3. TBC
4. Martin Laasmaa, Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia
